Trees to be retained must be protected from clearing or construction activities by:
clearly marking vegetation to be retained with flagging tape
installing protective fencing around the drip line of the vegetation

using low impact construction techniques around vegetation.

all trees are checked for wildlife (ie koalas, possums, birds etc).  If wildlife is present, the tree must not be felled or pruned until the wildlife has left the tree.

PLANNING
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
You should contact the Cultural Heritage Unit on 07 3247 6212 to discuss any obligations under the ACH Act.
Equitable Access and Facilities
The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities.  Your attention is also directed to the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the proposed building work:
the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
Development Compliance Inspection

Property Driveway and Vehicle Crossover
The planning scheme declares Operational Work for the construction of a driveway and vehicle crossover to the property to be self assessable against the Detached House Driveways Code.  If the proposed driveway and vehicle crossover does not comply with each Acceptable Solution contained in the Code, a Development Permit for the work is required to be obtained from Council.
